Manifold Bolts

So I'm not having any luck finding manifold bolts for 300 6, and I really don't want to use the old ones. Is there a super secret parts house selling kits, or should I just take my old bolts to the hardware store and find something that works? Some of the "performance" kits I saw listed(not my truck) used grade 5 bolts. Is that anywhere in the ball park?

When I did the EFI EXH. manifolds I used studs screwed into the head and good old nuts.
I think the parts numbers are in this post. https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...questions.html

I think grade 8 is what you want.

Tractor supply one of the few places left in my area anymore with grade 8. You don’t have to keep track of prices of nuts and washers and bolts separate because you get grade 8 by the pound there. IT sucks lowes and Home Depot used to also carry but no longer, at least here. Hard to find real hardware store anymore. It just sucks and it’s unAmerican! Old man rant finished.....back to your regularly scheduled programming......
